Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
想起大四偷偷在寝室做饭 铺上瑜伽垫边追剧边大快朵颐的时光 任由被钱莫求婚、结婚、领养宝宝赚足的眼泪 吧嗒吧嗒掉进碗里；
虽然只是重聚访谈和读剧本，但当主题音乐响起时，作为老粉的感动还是特别强烈。才知道瑞秋和罗斯原来在第一季的时候戏外也喜欢过对方，第一季咖啡馆的最初的吻，以及第十季结尾时喊卡后没有松开的拥抱，都是真情流露。虽然现实生活中已经错过，但戏里的另一个时空，他们现在很幸福。
时间真可怕 带着新的记忆再重看pilot又是不一样的感觉
观众真好糊弄啊。A simple Zoom call might have sufficed. If the LOTR cast could do it, you could, too. 反正都是华纳。
追看了这么多的eva，但是还是喜欢打使徒的那一段，后面的q也好，终也好，真的看得我头大，即便已经翻找了一堆解释，却依然云里雾里。或许补完就变成了魔法少女小圆的qb吧，没有个体之分，只在乎宇宙存亡……阿西
又看了B站一些分析视频我大受震撼。整个EVA相当于是一个以动画为载体，神学为背景，心理学为支撑的大型心理治疗。心理治疗就是需要把内心的痛点找到然后拿出来正视它剖析它接纳它才可能被治愈。《终》即为如此，还有什么疙瘩通通掘地三尺这次都解开！
越看越喜欢Chandler！Matthew真的是Chandler本Chan！实在是太可爱了太有梗了！六个人在一起的这种氛围真的很好，看得出其实拍完friends之后演员都没有特别多联系，但是过了那么多年坐在一起还是那么自然那么有趣
这个结局一言难尽，不过都无所谓了。本来接触EVA就是从漫画开始，也一直更喜欢漫画。这个系列对我来说在单行本结尾就结束了。感谢贞本义行，现在我可以确信的说，你就是最棒的。
“We knew. ”
重聚是为了证明，这17年总有一些东西是不会变的，甚至随着时间的发酵，那种亲密感有增无减。“当我看到他们任何一个人时，就意味着，对不起，今晚我不会再和其他人说话了。”F·R·I·E·N·D·S 每个人都是彩色的一点。
20210530 温情与感动之外，片中最令人意外的或许是那一段讲述老友记在全球影响力的视频，配合NYT关于这部剧对于英语在全世界推广和影响的报道，完全可以将其看作是后冷战的第一个电视现代神话，它不仅提供了一套关于理想的城市生活的格式和语码，英语的标准口音，同时也将sitcom这种形式推广到世界各地——不仅规训着笑/幽默的发生，也将美国生活想象和显示为一个无阶级、无政治的永恒循环空间。
Thanks! And I love you very much as well!!!
早就应该结束了，这次是自我摧毁，就像参加了一场葬礼，早就应该结束的葬礼。
啊，想起北岛的波兰来客了，“那时我时常在午夜惊醒，因为有很多梦未圆，因为对现状的不甘，因为对明天还会期待，因为相信自己会是一个奇迹！”
不是人类的补完，而是个人的补完，所有主角的补完，也是庵野秀明的补完，那些所谓的大人，都是小孩，而小孩终于成长为大人了。终于知道为什么要做那么久了，这里包含庵野秀明所有想说的真心话，不是像之前一样对世界，而是对自己。人呐，真的是又脆弱又坚强。不会有EVA了，在2021我们和他好好告别。
一朝醒来返璞真。
满满回忆...当年刚回国时人生地不熟，陪伴自己多少个日日夜夜，有它就不觉得孤单，有它家里的客厅就永远充满欢声笑语...虽说现在再看，第三季第四季直到第七季都有硬凹的样子，剧情也夸张的撒狗血，可就是这一份陪伴一晃很多年啊！
Boyfriends and girlfriends are gonna come and go,but this is for life.
对老设定的大幅修改让人一头雾水，华丽画面的反面是疲软的叙事，不过很明显庵野秀明这些年也逐渐放下了“故弄玄虚”的故事内核，TV原作中脆弱而别扭的红蓝黑三人组在相互的羁绊和各自的旅途中得到了成长，作为本系列的终结，这个结局也反映了一代老中二人梦醒时分回归社会的现实。
大家都容颜老去。有一天去cvs的时候，店里放着friends主题歌，好像这部剧要等我们这代人死了才会消失。
